ÐÇ¿ÕÌåÓý

An annual quest to enhance health care for sick children kicked off at Gold Coast University Hospital today.

Philip Hoy is set to become one of the first Gold Coasters to receive an unexpected career boost thanks to a unique partnership between two of the city’s biggest players.

ÐÇ¿ÕÌåÓý is leading a collaborative approach to handling rising obesity across the city.

Managing demand for health services on the Gold Coast is but one of the challenges being faced by the new Board of ÐÇ¿ÕÌåÓý.

More staff, more beds and more help for society’s most vulnerable are key elements of a ÐÇ¿ÕÌåÓý plan to combat what is looming as another tough flu season.

Research into the use of IV fluid drips in treating intoxicated patients in ÐÇ¿ÕÌåÓý’s Emergency Departments has caught the attention of media. More on the findings in this Courier Mail article.

A baby boom in the city’s north has seen ÐÇ¿ÕÌåÓý launch a community-based midwifery service at Upper Coomera to provide families with access to maternity care closer to home.

The annual ideas boom within ÐÇ¿ÕÌåÓý employee ranks has uncovered five projects which will directly improve patient care.

The Improvers is a staff innovation program which rewards winning ideas with the funds to bring the initiatives to life and improve the health service. 

This year 14 finalists were given an opportunity to present their ideas to a judging panel, which included Department of Health Director General Michael Walsh and Health and Ambulance Services Minister Cameron Dick.

As ÐÇ¿ÕÌåÓý prepares to host its annual staff innovation competition the Gold Coast Bulletin talked to three past winners and their projects and where they are now.
